Thanks to Sarawak Forestry Commission (SFC) cooperation, leadership and contributions we are working towards the world’s first sunbear rehabilitation and release project. This on going work would not have been possible without the hard work of our volunteers – especially Heather and Gareth who have donated over £7000 for the project and have personally been overseeing its construction.

The new half acre enclosure has been adapted to include night dens where the bears will sleep at night as, contrary to popular belief, they are actually not nocturnal. During the day the bears will have access to the outdoor enclosure that has been designed by world class experts and will help them to learn natural behaviors and interact with the environment, assisting with their future rehabilitation into the wild.
